Hi Mark,

The Fiat Dealer, suprisingly enough have been cheaper than other garages for the repair.

Replaced and tested ECU £279+Vat but they included the diagnostic test with the labour,£50 I think. Total I paid was £389 and the car has been running fine for about 5 days now.

As Ford dealers as well, there is a 2004 3dr Focus 1.6 Edge 28,000 miles in great looking condition. £6295 and they offered £4495 P/X.
Pretty good I thought as I am not sure I would get £1800 if I tried to sell our Punto.
Still going to write to the other Garage that ripped me off for the spark plugs though.
Many thanks to all that offered advice and hopefully I can get rid of the Punto before any thing else goes wrong.
Kev

Hi. It may just have silicone, they do rust through though.

Hi,
I was driving down the motorway yesterday and my Engine Management light came on and I seemed to be loosing all driving power. The car sat at around 45 - 50mph. My steering etc is fine and seems to be in good working order. Would anyone be able to shed some light on what the problem is, only had the car for 4 months and had quite a few problems already with the stupid thing!! : )
Thanks
Natalie

I have a Fiat Punto P reg and god do they cost alot to run only had it a matter of weeks, took it to the garage for a front piece on the exhurst which cost 98 pounds. The bloke said these cars are not cheap to run great I thought, funny that you mentioned the seat belt I thought it was just mine, a little problem looks like its not !

Hello, my Punto (2000 W Reg 1.2 ELX) has had a couple of problems I have managed to get sorted out in the ast 3 months since i bought it. Recently, the flexi pipe went on the driver's side, leaking out all the brake fluid, luckily I was in a car park when it went! Since then, got the flexi pipe fixed, brake fluid has been topped out and the pads etc have all been checked. Apparently I have a lazy caliper...

My problem though, is since the flexi pipe was replaced and the brake fluid topped up, the brake warning light (the one that comes one when the handbrake is on) stays on. It won't go out.

The fluid levels are ok now...any idea of the problem?

Hi. Could be a couple of things, it could be a faulty sensor or there might be a pedal travel switch on the brake paedal and when the brakes were bled this was tripped.
